Torquay United v Maidstone Sat 14 Oct KO 3pm

They drew Oxford away. Not too inspiring. Can remember going away there in the early 80s. Had my boot laces removed on entering the ground. When I went to collect them on the way out, instead of my pristine red laces was presented with a scrappy, tatty old black pair. Complained but told by a coppe...

Dorking v Torquay Tuesday 21st February

How many 6 pointers have we lost this season ? Against our nearest rivals (in the current bottom 9 with us) it is: Played 12 Won 1 Drawn 5 Lost 6 So out of 36 points available, we've managed 8! The only corner being turned is into another dead end. If this is the best we can do against the other re...

January transfer targets

Would you come for that generous offer?
Like I said we need proven players.
Not disagreeing with you, but when was the last time we signed a 'proven' player. Chris Waddle? Neville Southall?

TUFC v Eastleigh Monday 18th April 3pm KO.

Don't disagree with you but an actual clock (that sstops when the ball goes out of play) would, I suspect, reveal that of the 90 minutes, only 65-70 minutes are actually played. This would then mean that the games would end up being longer, taking games out of the 2 hour window (incl. half time and...

Bromley v Torquay on BT Sport 1HD?

Just seen that the match on Saturday is being shown live at 3pm. Unusual but welcome if true.

Chesterfield v Torquay United 25/09/21

Well the god like Tshimanga certainly did the business for his club last night as they were well and truly spanked by the mighty Woking. Won't be long before Chesterfield can't afford to pay their players again. You mean the mighty Woking who 'spanked' us even more; 4-0 at home. And you called me a...

brucie wrote: 26 Sep 2021, 22:17 Yeah probably threw his toys out the pram because our two goals took the focus away from him. To be honest I don't think he is that special either - probably hasn't played above National League level for a reason.
Yes he's utter rubbish, 9 goals in 8 games. Whereas our strike force ..

Playoff Final Vs Hartlepool at Ashton Gate

Plenty of posts about tickets, parking, pubs, and lateral flow tests. What about the football? There's very little about the match itself. We won at theirs 5-0; they won at ours 1-0. Who's favourite? Bookies seem to think it's pretty even. My feeling is that if Little plays, we will struggle. But th...

Playoff Final Vs Hartlepool at Ashton Gate

... I am already doing them and recording the results on the NHS Covid reporting app which gives me email proof of the result. Just out of curiosity, if you do the test and report the result yourself via the app, how do they know you actually did the test, and that you actually had a negative resul...

Playoff Final - Ashton Gate

I thought that would be easy to work out....... :} A Premier League ground with a capacity of at least 40,000. Then we would have a decent amount at least of fans being able to go. Instead of the circa 3,500 fans we will be allowed. Who is to say that a Premier League ground was available. Their cl...

Adults were being charged just £3 to get in though. I think they were trying for the National League record.

Woking v Torquay United 3/9/19

You can almost gurantee a goal fest here ..... so it will probably end 0-0 !!! I think this is a third reference to their defence from you (this an indirect one), and yet they have the equal best defence in the league, conceding just 6, while we have conceded 14. Their 'donkeys' have done a lot bet...
